Smuggler jailed

A German reptile poacher has been jailed for four months today for trying to smuggle rare native geckos out of New Zealand.

Today at Christchurch District Court he pleaded guilty to charges of hunting and possessing the geckos, which he claimed he intended to swap for gila monsters, which he collected. See more of the news on NZ Herald.
